Skate with Capers and Lemon
by:
A generatian aga, skate was rarely served in the United States except in French restaurants, and with few exceptions could only be purchased in Asian markets. Now, no doubt in part because the old standbys cod and haddock have been fished out, skate has become papular. If you are buying whale skate wings, the only way they come in many Asian markets, you will have to fillet them yourself. Makes 4 main-course servings.
